Live Boldly For Christ
HELLO FRIENDS,
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” Romans 1:16
Paul, the author of Romans, was someone that was not ashamed of the gospel. Too often, we hesitate to share our faith out of fear: fear of rejection, the unknown, or discomfort. But the gospel is not something to be hidden. The gospel is the greatest gift we can receive. Worldly things are temporary, but salvation is for eternity! It is the message of God’s love, grace, and redemption for all people.
How do we overcome the fear to share our faith??? With the help of the Holy Spirit we can take baby steps:
1. Create relationship
2. Model Jesus through your actions
3. Pray often for soft hearts to listen and boldness to share
In my experience, people often see and experience Jesus through actions before words. Words can be scary because we may not have all of the answers or we may be rejected, but a kind gesture or a smile can speak volumes! Soon enough, people take notice!
Don’t be ashamed of the gospel. Wear it on your sleeve and be a light in your home, neighborhood, and city.
